Chapter 37

*** Akali pov ***

I press my finger against his cheek - you sleep so soundly but I think I used all of the energy you have been saving up in just that night. I giggle to myself as I roll my eyes at myself, sorry sweety, seeing you like that just made me want to eat you up.

We haven't said it to each other, but I do actually love you. I don't want to tell you a lot of things because I am scared that I might hurt your pride... that you think you might not be good enough. But I prefer a relationship like this, it burns slowly till it finally reaches that point but with you... it feels like there is still so much more waiting for me.

"I love you," he moves in his sleep as I crawl out from the side of the bed and slip on some clothes to wear for the day.

I am starving, just as I walk into the kitchen I see Conrad standing near the sink, "Morning," I smile at him.

"Morning," his greeting is a lot softer.

Then siding next to him as I feel if the kettle is hot, "When'd you get home?"

"Just an hour ago," he says coldly, not adding anything else to it.

I stare at him awkwardly through the corner of my eye as I lift my shoulders, "Heard you slept over at a girl's place-"

"Something like that," he doesn't give me a chance to finish my sentence as he walks to the living room, dropping onto the couch as I shoot him an unimpressed gaze.

Then resting my hands behind my back, I stand near him staring at him with a narrowed gaze, "Don't tell me you are jealous?"

"Why would I be jealous of you?"

"I stole your boyfriend?"

He snorts, "Shut the fuck up," he finally cracks a smile.

"So? Going to tell me why you are suddenly giving me the cold shoulder or is there I do the exact same and we make me living in the same house an absolutely painful experience where (Y/N) ends up worrying and feeling like he has to choose between the two of us."

"He'd choose you."

Then with an annoyed tone, "I'd rather not him ever make the decision, losing friends blows."

He sighs, "Yeah I am just on my period."

"I could take you to the shop and buy you some pads?" I ask with a serious expression, he then looks at me, "But if you are going to sit here feel sorry for yourself and not tell me about it then try to at least not bother me with your sulking."

"Why do you care?"

"I don't," I then walk away back to make some breakfast.

He then finally says as I start to make food, "I am jealous of him, I never really had something that lasted beyond a fling and I kinda want to have that," I then shake my head as he continues, "Besides you are also one of my top celeb crushes so it is kinda... weird, you know?"

"Have you tried going after love rather than sex?" I ask trying to suggest him upping his approach, "And also don't ever tell that to me or in front of him again. Unless you want him to not trust you around me. I am only letting it slide because I am in a good mood."

I glance at him over my shoulder, "I am a celeb crush which means we'd never have dated, so you can't use that excuse because it is a crush you fantasize about but know will never work out," then returned back to making breakfast.

"I don't mean to make it sound like..." he groans into his hands, "That sounds so fucked up if you put it like that!"

"Glad you realized it," I lift my shoulders.

"Just ignore that comment, I feel like shit now," I can tell he is watching me probably wanting some form of verification, "Sorry, Akali. The last thing I want to do now makes it seem like I am getting in between the two of you."

"Trust me, you aren't," you are probably mentioning it because deep down you want to. I then suggest, "If you really want to date someone with some caliber that aren't silly little high school girls I can set you up with someone I know."

"You could have been those girls."

"Nope, I dated enough guys like you and I love what I have now," I state.

"Not what I meant!" he sighs, "So who is this girl?"

"We can meet her later today," I suggest.

I thought I was wrong at first, but now I don't know. You meet people in your life that are the best of friends to other males but when it comes to women they have a carnal desire that kicks in and they don't care who they hurt trying to get their dick wet.

Are you one of them?

Mentioning me shouldn't even be a thing, I guess I am aware that I can exist as an object of fantasy for a lot of men but mentioning it to me is kinda fucked when I am dating your best friend.

Rather not think about it any further, I might just be looking too deeply into it like a bitch. We have gotten a bit closer and he might just not be thinking straight. He hasn't made a move on me once this entire time I have been here.

I then breathe out, "Sorry, I have always been hard on you."

He chuckles, "I probably deserve it," he states.

*** Conrad POV ***

Here I was doing my best to avoid you, to probably end up keeping you as far as possible so that it can just stay out of my mind. It isn't a celeb crush but because I actually like you but I can see how happy you are. I can see how happy he finally is.

Fuck me, I guess. Then there is always if it doesn't work out.

I have had enough time to shine so I won't ever touch it. I can become her friend and keep it at that - nothing more, and if she starts hating me again, then less. 

I then smile at her, "We can at least be friends, yeah?"

"As long as you stop being an idiot, sure."

"Kinda hard."

"I know," she then asks, "Want something to eat?"

"Please."
